A Hole in the Sky, A Hole in the Earth

Navigation - Bent Canyon

While a nomad at heart, this was truly the furthest that she had traveled on her own. She didn't really like to be alone, but as of late she seemed to find herself without a companion more often than not. The rest of her band of hooligans must be busy with their own activities, ransacking and taking things for themselves. Making a name of themselves and all that jazz. Jaelle grabbed this opportunity to wander until her paws grew weary, the jingling sound of her bells her only company. She hummed softly, tail swaying behind her. Her scarf that was usually around her neck had been moved, she had tied it on the base of her tail instead today. Her neck fur needed to breath, it had started to lay flat where the fabric usually hung. Now her tail was adorned with both bangles and a scarf, but she was used to their weight.

Slowing her pace to a brisk walk as she entered the canyon, Jay was careful to tread with caution. Everything appeared wet here, the rock face stained darker where the water touched it. It was almost like the rock itself was crying, tear like markings along the walls of the canyon. Blinking her mismatched eyes, she brushed her flank softly against the rock face, as if to calm it. Jaelle had never quite seen anything like this place before, in all her travels. Her face was a mixture of awe and pleasure, her bells chiming softly as she walked down one of the shelves. It looked like many paws had carved paths down the stone, some narrow enough for just one wolf, some wide enough to hold a whole pack of them. The monotone dame licked her lips, wondering what kind of beasts roamed this land. Probably the more sure-footed ones like goats and horses, although she saw none of them at the moment.

She was so busy observing the bends and twists of the landscape that she wasn't paying attention. A very slippery rock made her front left paw slide out from under her, panic making her eyes grow wide. Letting out a sharp bark, her body fell to the ground, sliding partly down the smooth rock. Jaelle tried to pick herself up, but of course in her clumsy manner it was rather difficult. So she slid a bit further down the path, her bells singing out as she slipped. At last she was able to stand, letting out a huff as she stood with her legs a bit further apart than normal. Her gaze was still wide, her breath coming out in short pants. It wasn't until she was able to focus that she looked a bit further down the path, seeing a spotted wolf with a bird on her head. Oh... dammit all. Had the stranger seen the whole thing? A sheepish smile crossed her face, but she was still unable to move, shock making her limbs ridged.
